Gov. Tanner is fond of sneering at
the press, yet it is safe to say that had
it not been for the press the governor
would have announced his candidacy
for renomination at the republican
love feast instead of his retirement.

Are not tree hearted men and wo
men likely to regard this as a case of
inappropriate presidential slobber? It
is like the case cf a certain old lady in
England, who gets out on the front
portico of Windsor castle, so that she
can be .teen by the public weeping
over the death and suffering of "my
soldiers" in South Africa, and then
folding her hands and praising God
while the administrators of her gov
ernment send more Englishmen to
slaughter in the effort to suppress the
spirit cf liberty and independence.
Gen. Sherman is frequently quoted as

quarters were in the executive man

office of Joseph Chamberlain, secre

la a Bad Way.
The republican love feast furnished
a good illustration of the condition of
the republican party in Illinois It
was made up of party leaders and of
men supposed to know the sentiments
of the people in their respective lo
calities. Tbey demanded the retire
ment of Tanner and of the men who,
under his directions, have managed
state affairs. They have admitted
and declared that the state adminis
tration is unworthy of the confidence
of the people and that it dare not
come before the people for indorse
ment. If a candidate elected by over
a hundred thousand majority in Illi
nois cannot be trusted to run a second
time the party must certainly be in a
bad wav.
A Fitting- Memorial.
J. J. Richardson, of Davenport, is
about to send to the state historical
department a magnilicent plaster
bust, linished in copper, of his broth
er, the late Hon. 1. X. Richardson.
The bust is the work of the sculptor
who designed and prepared the figures
which now adorn the soldiers1 monu
ment. Hon. D. X. Richardson, who,
with bis brother, edited the Daven
port Democrat, was one of the leading
and most influential newspaper men of
his time. He was the inspiration of
the movement which resultei in the
erection of the monument which to
day, standing upon Capitol hill mute
ly, yet eloquently, tells the story of
Iowa's love and respect for tho6e who
represented the commonwealth in the
ranks of the nation's defenders. The
historical department will gladly find
a place for this new memorial. Des
